- Additional Information This green-roofed yellow house, made of a recycled fruit crate, with its single large dormer in the centre and its chimney located on the outside of the main structure, is reminiscent of old Prairie houses. The front door has been replaced by an opening for the birds. The windows are drawn in paint. The artist's garden was decorated with various constructions: weathervanes, whirligigs and bird houses.
